I'm doing a fair bit of enhancements right now as the car goes into its next stage of ownership. One of those enhancements is refreshing the front end, so I was researching how to mount the Hard Motorsports Splitter and if the chassis mounts they sell (which appear to be a weak option alone without splitter rods/shocks providing added support) would work with my setup. That is will it work with a Deansbimmer Undertray and ESS Supercharger (intercooled kit)? No one seems to make a good chassis mount option for the E9X platform, and I'm not certain if any are compatible with my setup.

I can't seem to find anything on this topic and felt this might be the best place to get some guidance. Also what is the preferred/recommended mounting point and size of the splitter rods/shocks, if I'm only planning to run 2?

Last question here, I ordered a Fall-Line Motorsports DCT Pan, but am also replacing the DCT side pan as well. Is there a good side pan option for the DCT or is OEM just fine?

Thank you in advance.

The deansbimmer undertray is quite large and will probably interfere. If you are doing serious track work, I splitter would replace the undertray anyways.

I haven't heard great reviews of the hard splitter, mainly how prone to deflection it is. You might be better off just building one yourself

Are you going to the track or just want a splitter for looks? I would recommend building something custom, or doing something easy and nice looking like the GTS lip/splitter combo.

You might struggle with the placement of the ess IC pump and or intercooler.
